Therapy for Anxiety and Trauma in New York City
For women who are exhausted from overthinking and ready to feel at ease in their life
Therapy can become a place to step out of constant analysis and start listening more closely to yourself, your emotions, your body, your needs and the parts of you that may have gotten lost underneath all the second-guessing
Online heart-led and integrative therapy for women throughout NYC and the state of New York
Therapy for Anxiety and Trauma in NYC might be right for you if…
You rarely feel fully present because your mind is always scanning for what could go wrong
You can’t tell the difference between intuition and fear anymore
Even in healthy relationships, part of you is still waiting for rejection, criticism, or abandonment
You’ve spent so long responding to everyone else’s needs that you may have lost touch with what you truly want
Someone's tone changes, and you immediately wonder what you did wrong.
Your self-worth changes depending on how you're doing at work, in relationships, or even in your own body
You’re curious about the connection between your mind and body, and what your nervous system, emotions, or physical sensations might be trying to tell you
You’ve done a lot of thinking, reading, journaling, or self-reflection, but you’re craving therapy that helps you go somewhere deeper
Often, there’s more happening underneath these patterns than we can think our way through. Therapy can become a place to get curious about your inner world, the emotions, protective parts, old experiences, body sensations, and deeper needs shaping how you move through your life. Together, we'll help your mind and body learn that conflict doesn't have to mean rejection, mistakes don't define your worth, and you don't have to keep proving you're enough.
Meet Your NYC Anxiety Therapist
Hello, I’m Olivia Korn, LCSW. I love being a therapist and feel deeply passionate about this work.
I believe therapy can be a place where something truly shifts, not only in how you understand yourself, but in how you feel and move through your life.
Some of my clients come to therapy after years of reading the books, listening to the podcasts, and trying to understand why they feel the way they do. Others simply know they can’t keep living this way, exhausted by overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or constantly questioning their own reactions.
Therapy with me is slower, more attuned, and less about saying the “right” thing. We’ll notice what happens in real time when your inner critic shows up, your body tightens, or an old pattern starts to take over,and get curious about what’s underneath it.
Over time, you may find that you recover more quickly when something feels off, trust your emotions without getting overcome by them, stay more connected to yourself in relationships, and feel clearer about what you need, want, and believe.
I integrate EMDR, somatic therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), but the heart of my work is helping you build a different relationship with yourself, one where your worth no longer depends on getting everything right.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process experiences that may still be contributing to anxiety, self-doubt, body image struggles, or relationship patterns. Rather than relying on insight alone, EMDR helps create change at a deeper level so old experiences feel less emotionally charged and no longer have the same hold on your present-day life.
-
Somatic therapy recognizes that anxiety, trauma, and self-criticism don't just live in our thoughts—they also show up in the body. You might notice this as tension, a racing mind, difficulty relaxing, or a constant feeling of being "on." By paying attention to your nervous system and bodily experience, somatic therapy helps create lasting change that goes beyond talking or analyzing.
-
Yes! I love working with other therapists, specifically but not limited to, new therapists. I support clinicians navigating the unique pressures of the field, including imposter syndrome, burnout, and the emotional weight of our work.
-
Many of the people I work with come to therapy with a lot of insight. You may understand your attachment patterns, know where your inner critic came from, or be able to explain exactly why certain situations trigger you, and still find yourself having the same emotional or physical reaction.
That’s where experiential therapy can be especially helpful. Rather than only talking about a pattern, we slow down and work with what is happening in your emotions, body, and nervous system so that change can begin to feel more embodied, not just intellectually understood.
